Here is my list...
1 - A better way to cut and paste between different windows.
The currunt Mark, Cut and Paste strategy is just to clumsy.
I'd like something like under X Windows.
2 - I'd like faster boot from diskette. Only one disk (insted of two
would be fine).
3 - Utilities to kill processes.
4 - Multiple input queues.
5 - Allow precise allignement of icons on the Desktop.
Maybe from the Destop settings Notebook like exDesk does.
6 - Allow more types of bitmaps to be displayed as background (eg.
GIF, JPEG).
7 - Scrollback buffers in shells windows. As it is now implemeted it's
practicly useless. The buffer is just to small.
8 - Like someone already said... either give us some WPS aware apllets
or leave them out. The applets that now come with OS/2 just don't do
it justice.
9 - Ability to load new drivers without having to reboot. To many times
I've booted and fergot to turn on my SCSI CDROM.
I know most of these can be done with freeware and shareware out there
but it would be nice to see them in the OS.
